In some embodiments, interacting with a particular interactive tile navigates to a corresponding portion of the video, adds a corresponding video segment to a selection, and/or scrubs through tile thumbnails.

Abstract: Digital image text editing techniques as implemented by an image processing system are described that support increased user interaction in the creation and editing of digital images through understanding a content creator's intent as expressed using text. In one example, a text user input is received by a text input module. The text user input describes a visual object and a visual attribute, in which the visual object specifies a visual context of the visual attribute. A feature representation generated by a text-to-feature system using a machine-learning module based on the text user input. The feature representation is passed to an image editing system to edit a digital object in a digital image, e.g., by applying a texture to an outline of the digital object within the digital image.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a thumbnail segmentation that defines the locations on a video timeline where thumbnails are displayed. Candidate thumbnail locations are determined from boundaries of feature ranges of the video indicating when instances of detected features are present in the video. In some embodiments, candidate thumbnail separations are penalized for being separated by less than a minimum duration corresponding to a minimum pixel separation (e.g., the width of a thumbnail) between consecutive thumbnail locations on a video timeline. The thumbnail segmentation is computed by solving a shortest path problem through a graph that models different thumbnail locations and separations. As such, a video timeline is displayed with thumbnails at locations on the timeline defined by the thumbnail segmentation, with each thumbnail depicting a portion of the video associated with the thumbnail location.

Abstract: Certain embodiments involve using a gated convolutional encoder-decoder framework for applying affective characteristic labels to input text. For example, a method for identifying an affect label of text with a gated convolutional encoder-decoder model includes receiving, at a supervised classification engine, extracted linguistic features of an input text and a latent representation of an input text. The method also includes predicting, by the supervised classification engine, an affect characterization of the input text using the extracted linguistic features and the latent representation. Predicting the affect characterization includes normalizing and concatenating a linguistic feature representation generated from the extracted linguistic features with the latent representation to generate an appended latent representation. The method also includes identifying, by a gated convolutional encoder-decoder model, an affect label of the input text using the predicted affect characterization.

The identification system generates an indication of the digital template for display in a user interface.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for image processing. Embodiments of the present disclosure include an image processing apparatus configured to generate modified images (e.g., synthetic faces) by conditionally changing attributes or landmarks of an input image. A machine learning model of the image processing apparatus encodes the input image to obtain a joint conditional vector that represents attributes and landmarks of the input image in a vector space.

In some cases, the machine learning model is trained using a generative adversarial network (GAN) with a normalization technique, followed by joint training of a landmark embedding and attribute embedding (e.g., to reduce inference time).

The textual design agent may also include a font recommendation model, a size recommendation model, and a color recommendation model. The output of these four models may be combined to generate draft designs that are evaluated as a whole (combination of color, font, and size) for the best designs. The top designs may be output to the user.

Further, in various implementations, the image artifact removal system utilizes dilated attention residual layers in the generator neural network to accurately remove compression artifacts from digital images of different sizes and/or having different compression ratios.

Abstract: A method for marking text in digital typography includes identifying one or more glyphs that intersect or overlap with a text marking bounding box, drawing a modified text marking to avoid intersecting with the one or more glyphs, and causing a display device to display the modified text marking with the text. The text marking is associated with a line of text including the glyphs or adjacent to a waxline of text including the glyphs. For each of the glyphs, the glyph corresponding to the glyph bounding box intersecting with the text marking is indicated. The modified text marking is drawn based on outlines of the glyphs, intersections between a text marking bounding box and the glyph outlines, and a user-specified glyph offset, text marking weight, and/or text marking offset to avoid intersecting with the glyphs. The shape of the modified text marking avoids intersecting with or overlapping the glyph.
